麻豆约拍

Muriel Gray walks the sunny South Devon coast with the writer Neil Hanson and debunks a few myths about the Armada en route.

As they cross the cliff tops, they discuss piracy; warning beacons; a succession of Spanish mistakes; and whether Francis Drake really did finish that game of bowls.

Series exploring the areas around our greatest battlefields.

Producer: Lucy Lunt

First broadcast on 麻豆约拍 Radio 4 in 2004.
